Application filedllecmnber 16, 1882. (No model.)

Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Faucets for DrawingLiquids, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My improvements are specially intended for application to beer-faucets,but may be used with any faucet for drawing liquids, the object being toprevent leakage around the valve when the faucet is open. a

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a faucet with my improvements.Fig. 2is a cross-section on line 00 m, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a longitudinalsection of another style of faucet with my improvements. Fig. 4 is asection online 3/ y, Fig. 3.

A is the body or tube of the faucet, formed to screw into the bung-holeof a kegor barrel, and in Figs. 1 and 2 provided with aplunger, B, forforcing the bung inward. a is a tubular boss, formed upon the tube A andconstituting the body of the valve proper, this tube or boss a beingformed with an outlet, 12. a

is the seat of the valve. cl is the valve, c011 I sisting of ascrew-plug fitted within the tube a and provided with a stem, 6, thatextends through a packing-gland, f, at the outer end of the tube a. Thevalve or plug is fitted with a packing-disk, g, at its inner end, forclosing against the seat 0, and within the packinggland f and around thestem 6 is a packing disk or ring, h. screwed outward, by turning thestem 6 the liquid is free to escape to the outlet b. In case any liquidpasses between the threads of the screw to the space at the outer end ofthe plug, it is prevented from escaping around the stem by the packingh, and when the valve has been fully screwed out, it takes against the;packing h, so that it is compressed against the stem. I

Having thus fully described my invention,

When the valve or plug is I claim as new and desire to secure by LettersPatent- The combination, with a faucet-body having FRANK MOCABE.
